My husband booked a Charter with Great Escape Charters. Captain Will told him on the phone the charter is $1,750 and he prefers cash. My husband paid cash. Captain Will told 2 other guests that he was shorted because the charter is actually $1800. But he wanted to make sure they tipped the deck hand 20% which would be $400. They each tipped individually and ended up tipping $340. Captain Will actually called my husband to complain about them not tipping $400 and that the charter was $1,850. Well if we put pen to paper 20% of $1,850 is $370. 20% of the original amount my husband was given is $350. He was very rude and ended up hanging up the phone. If he needed the $10 we would have been happy to venmo him money. But with the attitude he had we will not send any money. How does the charter amount change by $100? The tip was actually 19% of the original amount my husband was told. They did catch fish and had a good time but they did not get the 8 hours they paid for and after the rude phone call we would never recommend booking with captain Will. They had to fuel up and he tried to claim that as part of the fishing time.

We recently took a trip with Will and George and they were absolutely AMAZING! We had a few first timers including myself. They were just as excited as we were to catch. George was the best and always kept us baited up. Will was very involved with our progress. Always searching for better spots and it seemed like we knew them both for years.But they are that nice. We caught some great fish. Can’t wait to go next you 🐠🐟

Bringing home ~100 pound Wahoo and our limit of Red Snapper on the kids’ first offshore fishing trip. A huge thanks to Captain Will and his crew, Zack, for making it a once in a lifetime kind of experience and one we’ll never forget!
